Necron Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't understand why anyone in Europe would get an XBox One because they're not even getting the TV functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragrant Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) LOL. you should see the guys reaction when the other guy tells him to buy a Wii-U in the gif I found in my last post. I thought they were making that stuff up about X-box one since it sounded so ridiculous. Edited May 25, 2013 by Fragrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataraxis Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I wonder what happens if you just turn the Kinect around. Like, let it monitor a wall or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Probably shuts everything off. Same goes if you put a cardboard box over it, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomrah Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, it probably requires itself to detect motion or identify an individual in order to keep the console on, otherwise it'll probably send itself into standby. Something fucked up like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxus Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Sheesh I knew you guys were PS fanboys, but come on. Magnus is really going out of his way to make the Xbox One look bad. I mean saying stuff like if the Kinect broke, the Xbox will stop working. What are you going to do? Chuck the Kinect out the window? And saying the Kinect will spy on you? News flash: EVERYTHING you buy nowadays has RFID chips attached to the product. We don't have privacy anymore. Besides any data that would be gathered would be strictly business related. They won't have people ACTUALLY looking into your living room, (that's imposible to get data on a grand scale that way) they would get the Kinect to send them the data in print, not in pictures.

Magnus is really going out of his way to make the Xbox One look bad. lol Mangus loves XBOX though. He's not going out of his way to do anything. He's furious because they made something he wanted to like sound like absolute shit. IT'S OKAY GUYS THEY ONLY NEED YOUR DATA FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. I've seen the light. XBOX One day one purchase. It makes too much sense not to be right. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) It's not just magnus either-- who was an xbox guy iirc. Micorosoft's stock dropped right after the xbox one press conference, and ign's poll notes that 75% of its readers were disappointed in the same press conference.

Draxus Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Haha companies spying on their customers has been going on for decades. It's nothing new. I don't like it, but that's the world we live in. Research RFID chips if you don't know what they are. Oh and to OB Express: people are overeacting. The Xbox reveal was targeted at the casual market for the most part. People need to wait for E3 to judge the Xbox One ( sorry about my writing. I can't make paragraphs on the Xbox 360 browser lol.)

Ataraxis Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 People have adjusted to companies going through their purchase activity and what have you. Bringing a camera like this into your home, though, is kind of like having someone watch you play (or etc.) through the window. Except the camera can tell things they couldn't. And the impression given is that its settings aren't entirely controllable. That alone is enough to make people uncomfortable. Add to it the possibility of things ending up more public, or being used as "marketing research," and things go further south. It's also a little naive to say that the data would be impossible to get outside of print (that is what you implied, right? Correct me otherwise), and that it would only ever be used for business purposes. Also, "business purposes" has been used to mean a lot of things by companies over the years.

Draxus Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not imposible to get the data outside of print, just impractical. It would be so much faster to get the info you need if you let the computer do it for you and give you the result in print than having to invidually look at a thousand photos. But yeah I just don't see what they would use the data for outside of business purposes. Maybe I am a bit naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataraxis Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 The problem isn't even "them" as a business, it's the individuals within it, and the possibility of onlookers (things get hacked). People within companies have, in the past, been known to use information acquired in the workplace for personal gain. It's not supposed to happen, and there's screening processes involved to try to prevent it, but sometimes someone just looks at something, sees a way to get an edge on someone else, and rolls with it.

Mom Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Also I don't know why microsoft decided that DDR3 vram was the way to go over the GDDR5 vram the ps4 has. Anyone in computer gaming knows just how paramount it is to have GDDR5. It literally doubles your viable memory bandwidth, meaning 2x the amount of texture information, anti aliasing etc, can be on the screen at once. That's not next gen at all, hell it's not even current gen-- nor last year gen. It's like 2 years ago gen.

Lygophilia Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Kind of lost optimism with newer consoles sometime now. I just won't buy one, unless game companies change the perspective on convenience, instead of focusing too much on graphics. "Life" is repetition enough. I thought that the Vita for the psp games wasn't a regretful buy over the ps3, that gotten no activity most of time when I had it.
